Growing old made my dad look different,
he’s got no hair, hands are rough,
and wrinkled,
back is bad and knees are weak.
But his spirit
is one thing that age couldn’t touch.
Inside the shell of 54 year old man,
a young boy,
looks for mischief wherever he can find it.
That is who is in this photo.
If photos showed a personality,
a spirit, a soul.
You’d see two young kids,
cheek to cheek,
goofy faces painted onto fresh canvases
missing teeth and messy hair
a carelessness only a child can possess.
An unbreakable bond,
an uncanny resemblance.
If photos showed personality
spirit, soul.
You’d see two little kids,
that don’t plan on ever growing up.
